Hello,
Im programing in SED (using C-script) and I've been trying to c_move the camera:
---
camera.pan = hovercraft.pan - 90;
camera.tilt = hovercraft.tilt;
camera.roll = hovercraft.roll;
camera.z = hovercraft.z;
camera.y = hovercraft.y;
camera.x = hovercraft.x;
c_move(camera, vector(-150, 0, 75), nullvector, ignore_models);
---
The c_move generates an error. I know the c_move line itself is sound, because when I put in "hovercraft" instead of "camera" it moves just like the camera should.
Does this mean that I can't c_move the camera? Basically what I am trying to do is get a 3rd person view for this hovercraft, and my solution was to set the camera at the hovercraft, and then move the camera back so the player can see the vehicle. How should I do this? Can I still use c_move for my third person view, or will I have to use geometry?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

i am certainly not an expert. I believe that camera is a view and c_move requires an entity. The instruction seems to work because c_move uses a pointer which merely indicates a memory location. Of course, I could be wrong, would not be the first time.

..::Your code. Feel happy::.. //at start of script, define a vector "tempvec"
vec_set(camera.pan,vector(hovercraft.pan-90,hovercraft.tilt,hovercraft.roll) );
vec_set(tempvec,vector(-150,0,75));
vec_rotate(tempvec,camera.pan );
vec_add(tempvec,hovercraft.x);
vec_set(camera.x,tempvec);
